Liquor Licenses Refused.
MORE vIGoR IN THE COURT.


The total number of applications at
TINS session of court 128. OF these Al
were refused. 3S of the applicants re-
fused coming from Wilmington. and
the other 3 from New Castle. The
total number of licenses granted at this
session IS 81, of which 20 are for Will
mingtOn, and II for the rest of the
county. Among the SO applications
from this city which were refused is
the old Carroll dive, whose proprietors
received notice from the court that no
license would be granted to them. and
VINO accordingly did not press their
application. The applications Mt the
late session were attended bv the novel
proceeding of a public hearing in omen
court. This wholesome innovation, so
lar as this county is concerned. was
brought about through the voluntary
effort OF certain public spirited citizens.
whose appeal to the court was readily
granted by the judges. The advantage
gained through the publicity attending
this open hearing by those who oppOse
an increase in the number of saloons
IN TINS city was very considerable. The
applicants were made to feel that the
burden of proof was upon them, and
they made their preparations accord
lngly' Excluding the druggists, of
whom three received licenses at this
term, 81 per centum of the applications
from this city were granted, and 80 per
centum refused. In other words more
than one-half as many were refused
here in Wilmington as were granted.
OF the applicants outside of Whining
ton, 81 per centum were granted and
Is per centum refused. 1t is safe to
say that cleaner list upon the whole

Jacob Puseys Handsome House
Burned 10 the GrOund.-Jacob Pusev OF
near Centreville, Md, but formerly Of
Wilmington, had thrilling experience
and suffered a heavy loss on last Fri
day evening, just as he was about to
retire for the night. Mr.. Pusev had
been stirring a wood fire which blazed
in the open CRATE of his parlor, and
was covering the embers with ashes
when he was attracted to the window
by the barking Ofdogs. There he was
surprised to see his spacious lawn and
the neighbOring orchard illuminated
by light or fire he could not see. but
a hasty visit to the outside discovered
the entire end of the third story and
roof of his house just over the parlor in
flames. He then rushed in again and
upstairs and found that a room used
for storage was alive with fire. and
which no possible means at hand eould
suppress or extinguish, Some of the
clothing and furniture was thus saved
but the heavier and more valuable
adornments aud conVeniences Of the
well-equipped home including n neu,
piano, were soon destroyed with the
entire house. BY extraordinary efforts
and wet blankets an icehouse. almost
adjoining the burning bnilding, aud
several other buildings were saved
from the flames. The fire is attributed
to a defective 1ue. The loss is not Vet
estimated, but it will exceed considera-
bly, the insurance Of between $1,000
and $4,000,

Merry Christmas.
THE HOLIDAY THAT LEVELS ALL TO A
COMMON HUMANITY, AND BRINGS
GOOD CHEER TO RICH AND
POOR ALIKE.


The Christmas festivity of 1887, near
ing its end, has been one of fulness
beyond what was expected of it. The
weather was without the extremes of
heat or cold, rain or snow-just such
in the main as could have been asked
for business or pleasure. 1t has two
sides to it,-business and festive eniov-
ment-and both we think have been
satisfactory. Some business houses
fearing the effect of the depression in
monetary matters, did not Law in so
large stock as last year, but we think
the general testimony is that thew have
fully realized their expectations. and a
number have gone beyond. In the
purchase of the numerous articles for
presents, more than those for bouse.
mold supplies, the amount of money
which change hands was enormous.
The two or three days before Christ
